Specific differences in third gens?

Can someone please direct me to a page that shows specific differences between the different 3rd gen models? I am considering getting rid of my vette for a nice GTA or IROC. The vette is just too damned small!!!

Small is good! Means you have a viable excuse to leave the kids at home!

Here's a start on some info:

https://www.thirdgen.org/tech-data

As with any car line, there are a few major changes between years, and many minor changes. I'm no expert on specifics, I just know what I have.

I just discovered that somehwere after 1990 they changed to a smaller antenna wire on the radio connectors, and it costs $13 for the adapter from Best Buy! These kinda things really gripe me - cars had the same antenna wire for decades, and it worked fine - why change what isn't broke? But such is life with any car - I guess the engineers have to keep changing things in order to keep their jobs. But you'd think they could have engineered some horsepower instead of getting their panties in a bind over the antenna wire lol.
